one last try tomorrow.

i'm color deficient , so stages like level 3 are an absolute nightmare for my eyes/brain to compute with those pallets .
I've gotten to level 5 so far- what kinda psychopath made that one up ?


Very cool ,short and challenging game. Will I every play it again after tomorrow? maybe, will i buy it next time i see a copy -Yep.

I'd like to know how the scoring works in this game I just beat the game and scored less than when I died at the final boss. I wonder if there are bonus points for life remaining at the end of stages. That first boss, are the projectiles worth points? I wonder if destroying stage bosses quickly nets more points (1943)?


The enemies you destroy during the first boss don't seem to be worth any points. I tried camping out there for like three minutes just shooting them before killing the boss and I still didn't get much more than 10k.

yeah i played some this morning there is definitely no points for the things destroyed at the bosses, if only the score appeared on screen during gameplay

This is a small miracle for a NES game considering that developers seldom gave a shit about having a scoring system that wasn't broken.

yea, if that was possible , you could point rack a max score at the first boss all day without taking a hit.

Then it would be a low score contest. That’s usually the fix for broken scoring. It might be the lamest way to play a shooter though, imo.

Honestly, I'm not sure.  I had over 90k going in to the last level.  I had finished the game twice before at 79k, and 87k.  I played a little differently on my last run through, but will have to do some testing when I get some more time.

I only ever use the wave, so I doubt it. I believe the weapon pickups are only worth 50 points.

Comin' in hot with my lil five minute score. Wish I'd had time to put some real effort into this one. Seems like a legitimately cool game. Urgh.
